I just kind of used this as a template for a salmon cake. I added cooked shallot, red bell pepper, two eggs beaten, (not the whites), panko bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, parsley and whatever spices I felt like. Turned out great.
I wondered how these would stay together without bread or cracker crumbs -- they didn't. Flavor was good though so I'll try it with crumbs. Will add pepper coulis.
I agree the previous comments. Add breadcrumbs, salt, pepper. Also: chill the patties for 30 minutes before cooking as per usual with fishcakes. Serve on lettuce. Delicious!
I also added egg and breadcrumbs. I put the cakes on a sweet potato slider roll with some horseradish mayo and lettuce and I can't stop eating them! Delicious!
I made these with a pound of salmon, broiled as direct. I added 1/2 cup panko as suggested, one whole and 1 egg white. Also to up the flavor I added Dijon, lemon juice, a a pinch or two of sugar. I rolled them in crushed saltines and refrigerated overnight. Fried them in a small amount of oil. Ended up being delicious.
Needs breadcrumbs! Also smaller patties (4 large too unwieldy to flip, especially without any binder). More dill would also be nice, serve with sour cream Scandi style.
